I recently picked up a lower unit to replace my damaged one. The person I got it from said and it worked fine but the prop had a pretty good ding in it and I wanted to make sure the gears weren't damaged. I took it down so I could examine both the forward and reverse gears and the pinion and...
Thanks again. I did some model comparison and looked at my engine and noticed the shift linkage and throttle linkage are somewhat combined. Would going with the '74 require changing out all the linkage or just the parts specific to the shift? Does anyone know for sure which parts would be...
